My dad worked until he died, and I swore I'd do things differently. Now, at 71, I realize it's important to stay busy.

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows
Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.
